I have done a bit of work and this is pretty much what I have running now.
Right now these four java copies are running independently. This is extremely good but not ideal.
Today I had a new idea which I will try shortly. I was thinking that if I use RMI to make these four java's communicate, I can have one multi-threaded java that has full access to all four kernels. In fact I am wondering if I can get access to five running kernels - I might be able to also push the master kernel which usually just co-ordinates the work of the other ones.
Thanks for the help - I will let you know if this works.
